James Anderson: 'England have the lot'

England bowler James Anderson has said that the team's 169-run triumph over Australia in the first Ashes Test shows how good they are.

The hosts have taken a 1-0 lead in the five-match series courtesy of their comprehensive victory over the Baggy Greens in Cardiff.

Anderson feels that England have been rewarded for their more aggressive style of play.

"It is easy for people to say 'Go and express yourselves', but you need the players, talent, confidence and environment to do it. Right now we have got the lot," he wrote in The Sun.

The second Test begins at Lord's on Thursday.
